About My Clients

The first thing you will notice when you see me is that I am a warm, welcoming person whom you will find easy to talk to. You will likely also recognize that my 40 plus years as a therapist has provided me with an extensive knowledge and experience base. The first step in therapy is establishing a trusting relationship with me. Looking closely at oneself is difficult and sharing that information can be hard. I will be patient and begin where you are and not push to do things you’re not ready for

My Background and Approach

I have worked with many clients during my 45 years of practice. Many were sexually abused as children and struggled with anxiety, nightmares, depression, alcohol and other substances. I have gone with my clients down the difficult path of recognizing the impact of past abuse, and moving from victim to survivor. The goal for you to become increasingly capable to act wisely in your own best interests. That you are pleased with who you are today and what you are doing. I try exceedingly hard to work myself out of a job.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I strongly value the individual's right to make their own choices. Sometimes those choices are not in their best interest. I believe that those who make unhealthy choices are living out past or present harmful and unpleasant experiences. Once those are identified and worked through, healthy choices become more available.
